Stochastic effects on phase-space holes and clumps in kinetic systems near marginal stability
Benjamin J. Q. Woods, Vinicius N. Duarte, Anthony P. De-Gol +2
The creation and subsequent evolution of marginally-unstable modes have been observed in a wide range of fusion devices. This behaviour has been successfully explained, for a singl…
Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by heat deposition measurement
Michael W Brookman, Matthew B Thomas, Jarrod Leddy +7
Interaction between microwave power, used for local heating and mode control, and density fluctuations can produce a broadening of the injected beam, as confirmed in experiment and…
Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by 3D full-wave simulations
Matthew B Thomas, Michael W Brookman, Max E Austin +5
Edge plasma density fluctuations are shown to have a significant effect on the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) beam in the DIII-D tokamak. Experimental measurements of…
Kinetic study of plasma current start-up under EBW power in tokamak plasmas
Erasmus J. du Toit, Martin R. O'Brien, Roddy G. L. Vann
Tokamak plasma current start-up assisted by Electron Bernstein waves (EBW) has been demonstrated successfully in a number of experiments. The dynamic start-up phase involves a chan…
A kinetic study of microwave start-up of tokamak plasmas
Erasmus J. du Toit, Martin R. O'Brien, Roddy G. L. Vann
A kinetic model for studying the time evolution of the distribution function for microwave start-up is presented. The model for the distribution function is two dimensional in mome…
